A Sherlock Holmes series is being eyed by HBO Max , which would be produced by Robert Downey Jr.

Deadline reports that the streamer and Warner Bros. are looking to build a Sherlock film-TV universe akin to the current Suicide Squad and The Batman ‘verses, which both exist across blockbusters and television series.

Two potential spinoff series from the Guy Ritchie-directed, Downey Jr. and Jude Law-starring film franchise are currently in the works. Word has it that these spinoffs would revolve around characters that have not yet been introduced in the films… However, a third instalment of the feature franchise (which was originally slated for a December 2020 release but has no new release date) would serve to introduce the aforementioned characters. Long story short, whether the series get made depends on the fate of that third film.

While filming hasn’t begun on this third movie, both Downey Jr. and director Dexter Fletcher (who takes over from Ritchie) have publicly reaffirmed their commitment to getting the feature made. We may yet see Iron Man in Victorian garb again.
